If its going to kick off it wont need alcahol to fuel it. Nanny State or a Stupid Military Rule. Take your pick. Banning anything never stopped the people obtaining it.

I can't help but feel that some anti-alcohol fanatic pulled this ban out of his behind based on emotions rather than on medical research. Never a good way to make a decision.
Some people have floated the argument that this will reduce violence in the home. What a load of triffle that is! People who are aggressive by nature, will always be aggressive - sober or intoxicated. Those people need anger management therapy.
Well said

Apparently not - and certainly not in "mid December." According to the Taiwanese Health Minister they sent an email to the WHO on December 31. However the wording of the email certainly doesn't sound like a warning to me.
So the email (based on what the Health Minister read out) appears to be asking for information, not giving it. Now, the minister did later claim that the reference to cases being isolated constitutes a warning but the WHO contests that - and I have to say I don't see it either.
So where is the transparancey from the CCP and where are the missing doctors and research scientists? I think Taiwan knew about on Dec the 15th by monitoring the social media inside China. Anyway if i am wrong aplogies. Officially its the 31st of Dec.

Free food being dished out all over the place, but why is it volunteers putting their time and money up, when the government who should be taking the lead are nowhere to be seen?
When do Governments do anything for the people, Ever? You would think there are enough army personnel sitting around doing nothing and they have enough trucks to distribute food throughout the country.

We all know it was from the lab in Wuhan. Deliberate or Accidental makes no diffrence. The problem the CCP and WHO have is that they failed to notify everyone that this can pass from human to human. They knew that in Mid December.

1.) I think you need some work on your math......... ????
2.) How exactly is this a different wealth transfer compared to what is done in the US or Europe?
Sorry my fault. I am not used to dealing with 12 zeros. I dont live in Venezuela. 25500B then. It is not different to the US and Europe. They are stealing money as well.

1.68 TrillionB to bail out the economy but i would guess mainly it would be the rich people who are the owners of the companies in the Thai SET that get bailed out. Thats roughly about 255,00OB for every man, woman and child in Thailand. Talking about wealth transfer. The Thai people will be slaves forever.

I do not see a rebellion in my village community as yet, but my wife who has 100's of friends on Facebook and in Line groups comes out with dismal stories of people without electricity and the unfair distribution of the 5000 baht support.
People are beginning to get angry.
Seeing the same thing. It wont be limited to Thailand either.

Worked before indeed...the examples abound, from Weimar Germany to today's Venezuela...
If printing money could replace a working economy, why should we even bother to go to work?
And if we could pile on debt infinitely without consequences, why not have the state employ everybody at 25,000 dollar per month?
Our generation is not the first to try to defy the basic laws of economics, yet contrary to what we may think, we are not smarter than our predecessors, but probably far more full of ourselves because, you know, we have smartphones and the internet, so we are all knowledgeable beings (at least in porn)...
Well said and spot on. Just one more thing to add. Piling on debt and deficit spending transfers the wealth of the middle class to the ones on the inside.

1 hour ago, jadee said:My biggest surprise so far has been that Bitcoin isn't 'filling the void'. The current situation where central banks are printing money is exactly the sort of climate that I thought bitcoin was supposed to 'thrive' in, but it isn't. From what I read, central banks are considering issuing digital currencies linked to the national currencies - like a crypto-RMB or crypto-USD. It seems that bitcoin won't have the leading status that proponents believed it would.
Give Bitcoin time and allow the market to stabilise. Once everyone realises how much the FED has devalued the USD then it will start to rise. A USD Crypto will still be suseptable to excess currency printing. Also it will make it easier for the government to steal your money from inside the system.

The WHO is partially to blame for this mess in the first place. Along with their puppet masters the CCP.

I am not as worried about rabid rabbits.
Over the years, I have come to recognize this "soft-heartedness" towards soi dogs as a form of narcissism and selfishness.
Playing Mother Teresa by providing cheap food to dogs is all very well, but the same dog you think is a lovely, friendly fellow could turn into an absolute terror when it comes across a child, or could end up causing a serious accident by chasing cyclists or darting into traffic.
There are already enough dumb and selfish Thais topping up their karma by feeding dogs. The last thing a country with active rabies needs is a load of unhinged farangs serving up even more cheap, nutrition-free carb slop.
By the way, any dog that survives its first week on the streets after abandonment has proved that it has a side that is far from sweet. Over half of them get ripped to shreds by the packs of dogs that already own that territory. To survive, these family pets have to get tough, and damn quick.
The whole situation is a nightmare that anyone who actually cares about animals should be appalled by, and not use it as a way to have pets without the costs or responsibilities.
Good post.

A month ago I would have said complete financial armageddon is almost guaranteed. Now I consider that was a mistake. Why? Because the FED and all central banks will not allow it to happen. They will keep providing stimulus for as long and as much as it takes to maintain liquidity and normality across markets. It's only national debt! I'm hoping for a 30-50% pullback from here but not expecting to see it materialize.
What about all the US$ residing outside of the USA? When countries start to realise that their holdings in US$ are worth nothing and have been devalued into worthless paper then all them USD's will start flooding back into the US to buy assets and goods that have some value left. Inflation.

It's unlikely because all the countries are in the same sinking boat.
If it were just one country with the problem, that country would be in deep trouble.
All these doom-sayers have never managed to predict anything in the past, why would one of them be right now?
Sorry to say you are wrong. The problem is the US and the US$ and this has knock on effects to every currency.

I think China is going for herd immunity. They dont care how many people die because at the end of it they will have a massive economic advantage over the countries that quite right you said will be in and out of lockdown for the forseeable future.
